This is a simple exemple to generate invoice:

invoice_id = self.pool.get('account.invoice').create(cr,uid,{
'date_invoice' : '2013-04-04',
'partner_id' : 144,
...
your values here
...
})

This code generate an invoice and return the id.

There are many ways to do that. First thing that comes to my mind is using oerplib, the other is with web-services.

Then I would take a look at the code for creating invoices in the sales and account modules. Specially study what the account_invoice.py in the account module does. The information you need in order to create an invoice from 0 is there
